Good Evening,
    It has been a pleasant week here in Oregon.  Temperatures did get into  
the hot region a couple times but mostly it was sunny and mild.  Since the  
weather was conducive to it I made my wood pile that much larger.  One  
would think after all the practice of cutting, splitting, hauling, and  
stacking that the process would become easier.  No, seems like just as  
much work even though I don't think about each step as closely.  However,  
I found that a fully loaded F250 in four wheel low can get stuck quite  
effectively.  It took quite a bit of lifting and prodding to get it  
unstuck.  Luckily I had read somewhere that given a place to stand one  
could move the world.  Simple machines in the correct place can do wonders.
    Propagation was decent this week.  Twenty and forty meters both  
benefited from the sun's recent activity.  Strong signals make copy much  
easier than what we have been having the last few years.  Maybe one day  
ten meters will open and I can work the world QRP.  That would be fun.   
Sitting by the fire working DX with a rig I have built from little bits  
would make a nice winter day.  The only thing better would be to have a  
few feet of dry powder on a six foot base for XC skiing.  Green or special  
green wax would be a nice temperature.  Maybe the prediction of a hard  
winter will bring me this fine gift.  One month of skiing would be nice.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.
